The time is past for #55

Well, I don’t know about all this childish fighting but I will say remember, the draft is a gamble. It’s become very high stakes too. No one can pick em all! We all have disagreements with various picks, for various reasons and at various times but overall, the Steelers have done a pretty good job of drafting. Bush wasn't good at Michigan, he was out frick n standing and thus, a worthy gamble in the draft! I’m still hoping he can turn the corner.

 

Actually, I never changed my story, but you keep on being you.

I did see inside linebacker as a bigger need than safety, though both were positions that needed to be addressed. I was absolutely right about Edmunds, so thank you for posting the evidence that I criticized the pick as a massive reach immediately.

 

It's possible. I certainly hope so, but right now he looks like a mistake that probably wouldn't have happened if they had made the right choice and taken Leonard the previous year.

 

And the Steelers made a mistake drafting Tee Martin instead of Tom Brady, all you're doing is posting hindsight crap.

 

That isn't my entire argument. I make that clear every time, but you are implying otherwise. The results should be part of the discussion, too, and Leonard was an All-Pro as a rookie. The funniest part is you and others implying or directly stating that he wouldn't have fit into the Steelers' defense. Yeah, the All-Pro middle linebacker couldn't handle an inside linebacker spot in Pittsburgh's 3-4 defense. That is some excellent analysis there.

 

The difference being I wasn't commenting at all about Martin at the time. I don't even know if this board existed at that time. I was commenting on Edmunds and the need to draft an inside linebacker.

 

You're suggesting they should have taken Brady in the 5th? Are you saying they should have "reached" for Brady?
